Connecting WebCenter Content and Portal 11gPS7

470

After WebCenter Content and WebCenter Portal installation, you must configure them to work together. But when you try to create a connection between them, this connection does not work. This happens because WebCenter Content 11gPS7 uses the new FrameworkFolders as standard framework folder, but the WebCenter Portal 11gPS7 still uses Folders_g. To make them work together, you need to change this setting within the WebCenter Content.

Go to WebCenter Content (http://localhost:16200/cs).

If this is the first time you are accessing your content server, set the Socket Server Port to 4444, and then click Submit.

Restart the WebCenter Content Managed Server.

Go to JDeveloper and create a new Content Repository Connection.

But when you try to access the content through the connection, you receive an exception.

This happens due to the type of folder framework, WebCenter Portal uses Folders_g, and WebCenter Content uses FrameworkFolders. We need to change the WebCenter Content to use Folders_g. Go to WebCenter Content, navigate to Administration | Server Admin | Component Manager, and click Advanced Component Manager.

Select Folders_g in Disabled Components and click on Enable.

Restart the WebCenter Content Managed Server.

Now, the Folders_g is enabled.

Let’s create a new folder under Contribution Folders. Navigate to Browse Content | Contribution Folders and click on New Item | New Folder.

Set the Virtual Folder Name as MyFolder and click on Save.

Inside the MyFolder, click on New Item | New Content.

Set the Title as MyContent, select the MyContent.html as Primary File, and click on Check In.

Done!

Now you can connect to WebCenter Content.

To register the content repository for WebCenter Portal (aka Spaces) go to EM. Right-click on Webcenter Portal and choose Settings | Service Configuration.

Select Content Repository and click on Add.

Configure the connection and click on OK.

Restart the WebCenter Portal Managed Server.
Go to WebCenter Portal (http://localhost:7001/webcenter) to see the changes.
